other · 2026-04-26

The article explores the evolution of lingerie from a restrictive garment to a symbol of freedom and sustainability. Today, sustainable lingerie is designed with organic materials, body diversity, and recyclability in mind. Brands like Organic Basics (Copenhagen) and Afrika Project (Spain) lead the way. Bulsara Studio uses algae fiber and 100% vegetable dyes, produced entirely in Italy. Casa GiN offers certified lines for men and women, including menstrual products and swimwear. Fantabody, founded by Carolina Amoretti in 2015, creates handmade bodywear in small workshops near Milan.
